I recently swapped my 2" POL rear springs and 2" blocks:
2.5/4 drop

for CPP 5" rear springs:
3.5/5 drop

As you can see, there is a dramatic difference in ride height. The new springs put the bump stops directly on the U-bolts:

I hacked the bump stops and It's drivable (in fact it handles great), but it sure seems lower than 5".

Originally, this truck had well over 6" of rear travel.

Thoughts?
